Wadi-e-Hussain (Urdu: وادئ حسین‎, The Valley of Hussain) is the largest organized and the first online cemetery in Pakistan, located in the northern part of the coastal city of Karachi on Karachi–Hyderabad Motorway; it is connected to the city by the main highway connecting Karachi with Hyderabad. The cemetery has been an inspiration for the local people in the coastal city. Apart from elders, there is a specific column/place for the children who die in their early ages. However, the cemetery has been a common burial cite for the local Shiite Muslims. The graveyard is also decorated with the special lights on special occasions such as Eid al-Fitr, Eid al-Adha, Mid-Sha'ban etc.
